I link to this site in a comment at the tail end of last year, when noctilucent clouds - the rarest cloud type in the world - were seen above San Francisco: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Rare-noctilucent-clou...

One of the perks of living at 60°N: noctilucent clouds are a fairly frequent phenomenon in the summer, moreso than northern lights in the winter in fact.

Now that's the cloud provider with the worst customer support. I've never been able to reach anyone there.

Also comes with huge privacy/PII-law / GDPR issues: European clouds could end up in the US, China and Russia and back again, while also mixing with other clouds and it's practically impossible to track.
